I made the Design Team!!

I have been selected to be on the design team for Heartfelt Creations! Wow, what a wonderful opportunity! I will be adding the design team members that are on the Heartfelt Creations Team for you to be able to go out and browse some great samples and be inspired! In the mean time, check out the blogs of the other finalists. Just thought that I would put out a card that I made using the Heartfelt Iris frame. This is only the saying in the middle of the stamp. Then I added some of the Daisy Patch flowers that I cut out with the matching die and colored with Copic Markers. It is hard to see from the picture, but I sprayed the flowers with Frost Shimmer Mist to add a little glitz. Then I added the swirl die and some pearls with the Viva Decor pearl pens. Thanks for looking!

Midnight Madness Sketch #96

Here's Wally Walrus from Stamp Shoppe Creations, colored with Copic markers and fitting right in with this weeks MMSC96. I used decorator paper from My Mind's Eye again. The edges of the purple paisley paper has some faux stitches and distressing. I tied some seam binding ribbon to the card along with some Prima Flowers and swirls by Sizzix. Thanks for looking!

Mojo Monday #183

Here's my take on the Mojo Monday sketch challenge for this week. I used the Greta Giraffe form Stamp Shoppe Creations. She's colored with Copic Markers. The background is using the Houndstooth Cuttlebug folder. The Layered piece behind Greta is faux stitched with the ScorBuddy and ScorBug. The fancy corner is cut with the Sizzix die cut. The Palm fronds are cut out of the decorator paper from My Mind's Eye. Have a good day!

Season's Tweetings

These two birds are from Whiff of Joy. I stamped them and colored them with Copic Markers. Using the oval nestabilites, I cut out the bird all except the pine boughs. I then layered the birds onto the beaded oval frame, which I sponged the openings of the stenceil before removing the nestabilities from the paper. The paper was cut from My Mind's Eye decorator paper and faux stitched with the ScorBuddy and the ScorBug. After assembling my card and add the flowers, I used the Viva Pearl Pen to add the pearl accents and the snow on the branches. Stay warm!!

Merry Christmas

Here is a Snowman that I've had in my drawer for a few years and decided to get him out and use him again. This stamp is from Whippersnapper. I first choose the Christmas paper from the My Mind's Eye "Believe" collection. Then I picked out the cardstock to match. I then colored him with Copics to match the paper. I used the drippy goo Martha Stewart punch for the one border and the scallop edge border punch from Fiskars for the other. I used the Scorbuddy and Scorbug to make stitch lines around the card and on the red strip. I then used dies to make the swirl and the poinsettia accents and decorated around the Merry Christmas sentiment. The sentiment was cut out using Spellbinders circle dies. Keep warm!

Thanks a BUNCH!

Here's a cute stamp from Stampavie. I colored her with Copics and added some white highlights. The papers are from My Mind's Eye and Pink Paisley. I stamped a leafy background from Impression Obsession with Vintage Photo ink on the Kraft paper to add some texture. Then I stamped the sentiment from Amuse onto a tag and tucked it under the ribbon to make it look like I tied it into the ribbon. Most of the time I used the "Thanks a BUNCH" sentiment with flowers, but it worked great for the bushel of apples too!

Peeking out to say...

...Happy Day! Here I used the Tina Wenke stamp from Stampavie. I colored it with Copic Markers. Then I layered it onto a punched doily. The doily was punched with a new Martha Stewart around the corner punch. It is hard to see from the picture, but I used the ScorBuddy to add some score lines in the doily. Then I used the ScorBug to add the "stitches" around the decorator paper. I used My Mind's Eye paper and Creative Imaginations ribbon.

Christmas with MME

Here is the stamp set from My Mind's Eye that matches their "I Believe" Christmas paper. All the stamps you see are included in the one stamp set. All images are stamped with Memento Ink and Colored with Copic Markers. Add some ribbon, embellisments or decorative borders and the cards are complete!

It's Cake Time!

This little cake girl is a new stamp from Ecstasy Craft. I colored her with Copic Markers and cut it out with an oval nestabilities die. I them layered it onto a Stampin'Up die. All papers are from My Mind's Eye. Just a little sparkle ribbon and a flower and it's ready to send!

A bench for All Seasons

Winter: I stamped the bench from Whiff of Joy and colored it with Copic Markers. Then I added "snow" with the Snow Marker from Marvy. Add glitter while wet, then heat from the back side to dry and cause the snow to puff up. I used new Christmas paper from My Mind's Eye. The Layout was inspired from a Mojo Monday Sketch. The cardinal was cut out from the decorator paper.

Spring: Here I stamped the bench and colored it with Copics again. Then I used the Art Impressions grass to stamp around the bench. Then stamped the flowers on white cardstock. Masking the flowers, I then stamped the pot from Art Impressions to make it look like the flowers are in the pot. After coloring the flowers, I cut it out and popped it up. The Sentiment was stamped on white cardstock and then cut with a nestabilities die. Leaving the nesties on the paper, I sponged some pink Distress Ink over the center. After I removed the nesties, I stamped the sentiment on the oval.
